lol @Q and ton of S/B for the bathroom and DH

I have the Epson Stylus DX3850 printer. Its 1 of those "all in one" it prints, scanns and photo copies. Really good it is. and the ink does not cost heaps either. £7:95 per cart of their own make. I get different make though.

Its just started pissing down with rain here. I have to go out in 30(ish)minutes

QueenQuootieSpookypieBee · 19/10/2006 14:00

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 19/10/2006 14:00

Mrsfish. Just watch it though with the cookies, they are very moreish

As tortoise will soon tell you

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 19/10/2006 14:04

Q They do a few different ones but are very much the same.

I know there was a DX3800 were I have the DX3850. I think there CX ones too. I would look up what they have before you buy

I am very happy with my DX3850 And its there photo printer too. I think they are £70 to £80 new

MrsFish · 19/10/2006 14:11

theHAUNTEDhazelnut - I'll make them for the halloween party I'm having, that way I can have one and hopefully everyone else will eat the rest

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 19/10/2006 14:15

Tortoise.......... What have you done to my DD?

She has just come and sat on me and now is pointing at the computer screen saying "tigger, wher tigger" and "tigger not there" lol

MSN and tigger wink for those who wonder what the hell I am on about.

I better get ready to go out in the rain. See you all later. when it will probably be a wet NH What a day to say I want to get DSs from school.

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 19/10/2006 14:17

MrsFish I would make sure you have 1 before you put them out for everyone else, otherwise you wont get 1 before they are all gone

TortUREoiseChamber · 19/10/2006 14:21

Sorry HN! LOL!
Hope you enjoy your 'one' cookie MrsFish! They are very moorish and huge so definatly don't need more than one but who can resist the yummy choc chips and chocolate on top.

TortUREoiseChamber · 19/10/2006 14:56

Tesco been and shopping all put away!
Halloween decs going up slowly.Im nearly out of tape! Forgot to buy more!

MrsFish · 19/10/2006 16:10

Having a very lazy afternoon. Ds went to nursery at 1pm, I was going to do the shopping but couldn't be bothered and I have enough in to make do for a day or so. Could do with using up freezer stuff as need to defrost it

So I have been sitting watching stuff I have taped over the past week, and sitting with the laptop sorting out all my photos

pippah · 19/10/2006 16:12

I'm feeling well (if rather pregnant!) so have not got a really good excuse for having a...s-l-o-w day today. Watched Jeremy Kyle earlier and vegged out for a while as felt v tired.

Since lunch, I've kinda sorta done the mission - I cleared out my yakky make-up bag earlier in the week and so I have been in the cupboard under the sink and done a 2 min clear-out of all the grotty stuff and rearranged the rest. I've also sat down with DH and gone through the finances ready for me stopping earning again. This is my most hated job in the world so I'm feeling very worthy.

I plan to have a nice coconut, chickpea and butternut squash curry on the table tonight, but I've clearly not done it yet. I feel so brain-zapped from doing the finances that maybe I'll do a little relaxing before I get started on it.

Thanks for all the welcome messages. I'm naturally not an Anthea so I'm finding the baby steps into cleaning and decluttering very reassuring and surprisingly effective. Think it may all go by the wayside when DS2 arrives though....

QueenQuootieSpookypieBee · 19/10/2006 16:21

we wont have the TV replaced for about 2/3 weeks. I know I grumbled about DH having it, but blooming heck. I wont say how much it cost, but, it really takes the piss.

At least we can do the bathroom tonight although im taking bets that DH will find something else thats needs doing.

QueenQuootieSpookypieBee · 19/10/2006 16:22

pippah - well done! You doing far better than "old timer" me...

TortUREoiseChamber · 19/10/2006 16:28

Wow well done pippah.
Normal cleaning is waiting for me to do it but im having fun putting decs up!

!! Can't see me wanting all this up for long! Can't get to cds or DVDs because they are on the shelf abouve the gas fire and that area is covered in bin bag! Also my tortoise shelf and the video shelf i covered in bin bag/crepe paper! Door is also covered with tissue paper in black,orange and ghosty print!
Have just made my own door curtain out of crepe paper.Hand hurts from cutting it into strips!
Not that much left to do.As long as its all done by tomorrow night i'll be ok.Then will just be food to prepare!
Better do tea now!

MrsFish · 19/10/2006 17:01

So, you are having a mega early Halloween party then... is it for the kids or for adults?

TortUREoiseChamber · 19/10/2006 17:09

Its for DS2's birthday(which was on the 10th oct!). He wanted a Halloween theme fancy dress party! We are all dressing up!
(only 10 days early!)

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 19/10/2006 17:14

Evening all.

Well done pippah.

Shame about the TV Q, Thats very bad having to wait that long for another one!

Sounds like its going to be a great party tortoise.
I got loads of tape a few weeks ago.(ready for xmas wraping.) Only thing is, I cant remember where the hell I but it

I got soaked doing the school run. It stopped rain just before leaving school for home, so at least DC did not get wet.
We could not make the cookies, the last 2 eggs I had were both cracked.
Got tea cooking and will soon be ready. and I have hooved the lounge and now dc are covering the floor with all their toys.

I dont know if it just me, but I am feeling cold at mo. Has it got colder as the night comes ?

shazdisembodiedronnie · 19/10/2006 17:42

i went out for the afternoon to avoid housework..
Must try and redeem myself later..

TortUREoiseChamber · 19/10/2006 17:44

Sorry you got wet HN. Hasn't been too bad here until now!! Chucking it down and knocking sky signal out! DD1 not happy,Nick jr went off in the middle of Dora!

QueenQuootieSpookypieBee · 19/10/2006 17:54
